1 2017/2018 Molecular Biology Code: ECTS Credits: 6 Degree Type Year Semester Biochemistry OB 2 2 Contact Name: Joan-Ramon Daban JoanRamon.Daban@uab.cat Prerequisites Use of languages Principal working language: catalan (cat) Some groups entirely in English: No Some groups entirely in Catalan: No Some groups entirely in Spanish: No Part of the knowledge of the 1st and 2nd courses of the degree is needed to be able to follow the course. Some materials of the following courses are particularly needed : Biochemistry I, Biochemistry II, Chemistry and Engineering of Proteins, Basic and Advanced Instrumental Techniques, Cell Biology, Genetics and Microbiology. Objectives and Contextualisation The students of the Biochemistry degree have previously acquired some descriptive knowledge of Molecular Biology. The Molecular Biology course will carry out a study in depth about the structure and function of nucleic acids. The subjects of the course are listed in the contents. The most important objective of the course is to get a good knowledge of the fundamentals and acquire the ability to assess the current state of scientific knowledge of the different subjects of Molecular Biology. For this reason, the experimental foundations on which the different subjects of Molecular Biology are based will be specifically addressed in this course. The foundations of genetic engineering will be also presented in this course, but they will be treated in detail in the course of Recombinant-DNA Technology (third year / second semester). Skills Collaborate with other work colleagues. Define the structure and function of proteins and describe the biochemical and molecular bases of their folding, intracellular traffic, post-translational modification and replacement. Identify molecular structure and explain the reactivity of the different biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Interpret experimental results and identify consistent and inconsistent elements. Read specialised texts both in English and ones own language. Stay abreast of new knowledge of the structure, organisation, expression, regulation and evolution of genes in living beings. Use ICT for communication, information searching, data processing and calculations. Learning outcomes 1. Collaborate with other work colleagues. 1
2 Compare the molecular mechanisms involved in the perpetuation, maintenance and generation of variability in genetic information. Correctly describe the structural bases of the interaction between proteins and nucleic acids. Describe the differential regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Describe the molecular mechanisms of the transmission of genetic information from nucleic acids to proteins. Explain the structural and dynamic polymorphism of nucleic acids. Explain the structural models of DNA folding in chromosomes. Indicate the capacity of the different structural analysis techniques and decide which to apply in specific experimental situations. Interpret experimental results and identify consistent and inconsistent elements. Interpret findings from structural studies of proteins and nucleic acids. Read specialised texts both in English and ones own language. Use ICT for communication, information searching, data processing and calculations. Content Chapter 1. SECONDARY STRUCTURE OF DNA.

The professor will explain much of the content of the course with the support of material that will be available to students in the Virtual Campus (VC). To be able to follow correctly the explanations, students should bring the VC material in class. The theory sessions address the conceptual parts of the course. Other parts of the course must be studied independently by students. The professor will indicate exactly which topics will have to be studied in this way and the material to be used. Problems. The professor will propose 12 problems related with scientific research of specific topics of Molecular Biology. These problems will be indicated in the VC at the beginning of the semester. The group will be divided into 12 subgroups. Each of the subgroups will have to make the oral presentation of a specific problem and also will have to do a summary of another problem that will be exposed by another group. In this way each student will participate in the preparation and presentation in public of a specific problem, and in the writing of a summary of another problem. In addition, all students are required to study all the problems and listen carefully to the explanations corresponding to all the problems presented in the course. All students can participate actively in discussions about all the problems, and will be able to answer the questions that the professor can include in the exams about these problems. Tutorials. In the sessions of tutoring in classroom, there will be guidance on the strategy to be followed in order to study the subjects of autonomous learning.

(2) Preparation of a report to a specific subject (group report): maximum 1 point (10%). (3) Midterm exam: maximum 4 points (40%). (4) Final exam: maximum 4 points (40%). The day of the final exam (4), students can also do a reassessment exam to try to improve the score obtained in the midterm exam (3); the score obtained in this reassessment exam overrides the score obtained in the midterm exam (even if the score in the midterm exam was higher). To pass the course the sum of the scores must be 5 points (maximum of 10 points). Students who have completed evidence of learning with a weight less than 50% will be mark as "not evaluated". The date for the review of the exams will be announced with a minimum of 2 days in advance.
